How to use the stamp duty calculator.

01

Add the requested inputs

Use the labelled fields in the workspace above. If example values are provided, try them first or replace them with your own.

02

Calculate and review

Use the main action when needed. SDLT is charged on the portion of the price in each band: 0% to £125,000; 2% £125,001–£250,000; 5% £250,001–£925,000; 10% £925,001–£1,500,000; 12% above £1,500,000. First-time buyers pay 0% to £300,000 and 5% on £300,001–£500,000, and lose the relief above £500,000. Owning another residential property adds 5% to the price; being a non-UK resident adds a further 2%.

03

Try a worked example

A £295,000 home in England or Northern Ireland pays £4,750 in SDLT: 0% on the first £125,000, 2% on the next £125,000 (£2,500) and 5% on the final £45,000 (£2,250).

04

Check the assumptions

Covers England and Northern Ireland only — Scotland uses Land and Buildings Transaction Tax and Wales uses Land Transaction Tax. Assumes a single residential purchase at standard rates, with no linked transactions and no leasehold net-present-value tax. This is an estimate, not tax advice.
